The cast makes this show. Quinta is a genius for the casting alone. I’ve only been upset about the episode that fired Ava. Quinta sorry I called you so many bad names ( ha). I love the character of Ava. Janelle James is brilliant as the principal of this school. I’m gay so duh- of course I love Ava. Plus Cheryl Lee Ralph, Lisa Walters. Both are allies of the gay community. Then Chris, he is sort of like an awkward teenager who happens to teach . Mr Johnson is amusing as the lazy janitor. Then from everyone hates Chris Tyler James Williams. Just a great actor. Finally Quinta- she makes me feel calm because she is so optimistic. I give the show 5 out of 5.
The best part of the show at least to me. The students are students not black students or white students. They are just students. I’m not blind, the school is predominantly black with the one white token kid. I laughed so hard because in so many shows there will be five whites and one black kid- the token. So not sure if anyone caught that fact, but it is funny.
